Episode Overview
At the end of 2020, a long-dormant conflict reignited after more than 25 years, as Armenia and Azerbaijan engaged in fierce battles over the contested region of Nagorno Karabakh. Azerbaijan succeeded in reclaiming a significant portion of territory lost during the 1990s conflict. The violence resulted in over 6,000 fatalities and displaced countless others from their homes.

With unique access to Nagorno Karabakh, Jonah Fisher journeys through Azerbaijan and Armenia, meeting those who regained their homes alongside those mourning their lost loved ones, while uncovering the influence of a larger power reasserting itself in the region.
